Just a minor point, I think you misread (or perhaps I am misunderstand you?) something from my post when you said: "As for Murray being credited for being the one who is responsible for using regeneration in the narrow sense, I seriously doubt the verity of that statement."

It doesn't say "who is responsible", it says "made popular".
The book "Physician of the Souls" seems to recognize that some taught the narrow sence, but until Murray it was the popular position.

Just so you know, I am inclined to lean towards the narrow view myself, because it fits with the soteriology I have learned from studying.
But I have to admit that there is a part of me that isn't completely confident in that knowledge.
But I am wondering if this is one of the issues that I should be spending a lot of time on?
